THE MATERIAL: Internet Archive C anada's Government Publications collection\, part of the Democracy's Libra ry project\, holding over 104\,000 text items\, roughly 22.1 million scann ed pages and about 48.25 TB of Canadian public-record material\, browsable at archive.org/details/governmentpublications. WHAT TO BUILD: deliberatel y open-ended. The call names a search tool that answers a real question wi th page-level citations\, a timeline tracing one policy across decades of government language\, and a sonic or visual piece built from archival mate rial\, but explicitly invites work nobody has thought of yet. The requirem ents are that it is useful\, that it is imaginative\, and that the code is open source when it is done. ORIGIN: the fellowship came out of conversat ions between BC + AI's Kris Kruger and IAC executive director Andrea Mills about treating a public archive as material for new work rather than only something to preserve. IAC brings the archive\, BC + AI brings a communit y of builders used to working in public. ELIGIBILITY: anyone\, anywhere in the world\; one builder is selected. APPLICATION: a specific project desc ription grounded in the collection\, a phase-by-phase work plan for the si x weeks\, and a success metric\, submitted at bc-ai.ca/fellowship/apply.

THEME: 'Interstices: Resea rch (in) the gaps'. An interstice is the small space between objects set c losely together\, the cords in a rope or the atoms in a crystal lattice: a n emptiness produced by the structure it belongs to\, and without which th at structure could not be what it is. In crystallography\, interstitial si tes are the spaces a lattice and its basis generate but do not fill\, and interstitial diffusion\, the movement of small atoms through the gaps of a host lattice\, is the mechanism by which materials transform. The call as ks what the equivalent sites are in social\, cultural and computational st ructures: where are the gaps these combinations generate but do not fill\, what moves through them\, and do they carry transformative power? It work s through Yancey Strickler's dark forest theory of the internet (the withd rawal of meaningful exchange from the open\, surveilled\, indexed web into private channels)\, the Dark Forest Collective's anthology and its 'cozyw eb' of small sheltered spaces\, dark nets\, miniverses and moving castles as interstitial spaces produced by and defined against the dominant web\, and Bogna Konior's extension of the dark forest metaphor to the opacity of AI systems\, where silence is refusal rather than absence and the forest is increasingly inhabited by other-than-human intelligences that opt out o f engagement with people. Where big tech pursues efficiency through the au tomation of human perception\, cognition\, identification and aesthetics\, artists and researchers explore the non/more-than-human\, glitchy\, noisy \, machinic\, datafied and dark to build new expression and critique of da ta-ism and what is marketed as artificial intelligence\, including the dan gers and potentials inside badly curated data models\, between polluting d ata centres\, and in skeuomorphic interfaces. WHAT THEY WANT: proposals fr om artists\, researchers and practitioners for work that occupies and move s through gaps that are social as well as structural\, ontological and mat erial. The gaps are physical too: the heat of data centres and their thirs t for water\, latency in the cables\, unindexed nodes. The call invites sp eculations\, practical interventions and inferences that fill the gaps and expand the diversity of possible communications and communities that can inhabit dark forests\, including those built on\, against and beneath the infrastructures underlying them\, and welcomes work on the (dis-)continuou s histories of technological exploration of computational infrastructures over the last 30 years or longer\, and on how current artistic\, theoretic al and technical explorations repeat or break from them. WHO: PhD candidat es and early-career researchers\, with submissions welcome from researcher s inside and outside the academy\, including artists\, designers and curat ors. PARTICIPANT EXPECTATIONS: participants write a paper and present it a t the workshop\, and on the basis of that peer review shorten the research into a newspaper-length article for distribution at the transmediale fest ival. The workshop is led by scholars from DARC at Aarhus University. DEAD LINE: 28 August 2026\, 23:59 CEST\, via the application link on the call p age.

T HEME: Agentworld is a research initiative on the medium-term future of hyb rid human-AI societies\, framed not around tools for agentic task completi on but around what the brief calls 'the human perplexity of deep agentic d iffusion'. It treats human societies as the evolutionary niches into which new artificial species must adapt\, where the constraints of agentic inte gration are qualitative and open-ended (psychological\, philosophical\, li nguistic\, symbolic\, existential) rather than utility functions to be sol ved. The framing describes a 'parasociety' of densely reticulated social g raphs in which agent-to-agent communication constitutes most socially sign ificant interaction\, humans and agents anthropomorphise each other by inh eritance rather than necessity\, and the two overlapping societies act as mutual evolutionary niches. The disciplinary posture proposed is 'a preemp tive anthropology of open-world centaur societies': building the vocabular y\, scenarios and conceptual armature for an emergent sociality while it i s still forming\, rather than describing it after the fact. WHAT THEY WANT : theoretical essays and technical papers that engage the Agentworld theme s directly and explain how the contribution adds to the special issue's co re questions. Philosophical\, theoretical\, technical\, design-led and pro duct-oriented research are all in scope. The call explicitly favours work that exceeds conventional academic journal formats\, including contributio ns combining philosophical argument\, technical analysis\, design research \, diagrams\, software\, infrastructure proposals\, visual media or web-na tive formats. Contributors may optionally propose still images\, diagrams\ , video\, web-based or interactive components\, and should say whether the y have the design\, development or production capacity to realise them\; t hese elements are not required.

T he Fund's strategy is to build the power of the public interest community to shape the direction of AI in Europe\; narratives are central to creatin g the conditions for a greater say over how AI is adopted and used. THREE THEMES where research shows the public already feels strongly: (1) DATA CE NTRES: as the EU aims to triple data centre numbers in the next five to se ven years\, pollution\, energy prices and compromised grid access have mob ilised communities across the political spectrum\; proposals should explor e narrative questions that move communities beyond resistance towards enga gement in shaping data centre expansion. (2) AI AND JOBS: 57% of the publi c in a recent study expressed concern about how AI will change employment\ , more pronounced among lower-income people\, and the concern is not only displacement but the quality and nature of work\, autonomy and dignity\; p roposals should move the debate from generalised anxiety into a mobilising issue that shapes the future of work. (3) YOUNG PEOPLE: beyond the stride nt social media ban debate\, young people encounter AI in education\, frie ndships and future careers\, and their wider views are rarely heard\; prop osals should build narratives that help young people shape the technologie s that will influence their lives. LEARNING PROGRAMME: grantees join a com munity of practice\, sharing experiences across issues and places\, suppor ting each other through delivery and reflecting on which strategies and st ories have most salience\, with findings feeding back to the Fund and othe r funders. ABOUT THE FUNDER: the European AI & Society Fund is a pooled fu nd with 18 funding partners that mobilises a public interest community in Europe to fight for AI that serves people\, society and planet\; it takes no EU\, government or Big Tech money.

It publishes in March/April 2027\, digital and print\, under CC BY-S A 4.0. The current open call is to propose a recipe by the end of August 2 026 and join as a launch contributor. WHAT THEY WANT: tried-and-tested gro up exercises you have actually run with people in teaching or workshops\, specifically in the context of film\, audiovisual work\, time-based media and storytelling. Hands-on or analog\, 15 minutes or a full day\, beginner or advanced\; the one hard requirement is that another educator can read your recipe and run it themselves. What that might look like: hands-on exp eriments with specific AI tools (image generators\, chatbots\, code assist ants\, video models)\; analog activities that reveal computational logic t hrough embodied practice\; critical readings\, watchings or listenings wit h structured discussion\; provocations\, games or role-plays that get at h ow AI sees\, thinks or makes\; and exercises that help people work out how they want to relate to AI in their own practice. WHAT MAKES A GOOD RECIPE : it helps a room of people think together and trusts the room to be smart given the right container\; it emerges from real practice rather than an untested idea\; it is specific about what participants do\, step by step\, so a stranger could pick it up and adapt it to their group\, time\, tools or context\; it has at least one designed social moment where the thinkin g happens between people rather than privately\; it is about something lar ger than technique (how a machine sees an image\, where your values bump u p against what the tools want from you\, what a film's rhythm looks like l aid out in space instead of time)\; it takes a position without telling pe ople what to think\; and it points beyond itself with references\, reading and reference projects. Published example recipes include Image Forgery: Archival Mimesis with AI (Artefacto)\, Machine Ways of Seeing (Nadia Piet) \, AI Film Now: A Close Watching Exercise (Nadia Piet) and Outside the Tim eline: Spatial Grid + Visual Clustering (Artefacto)\, alongside a root rec ipe template. WHAT LAUNCH CONTRIBUTORS GET: your recipe in the first editi on\, print and online\, credited to you\; a print copy when it lands and a n invite to the launch event in Amsterdam in spring 2027\; support turning your exercise into a recipe\, via Recipe Press (their LLM helper)\, the c ook-along\, or directly with the team\; and a need-based fee of EUR 150 pe r recipe for freelance and independent practitioners\, which you request i n the proposal form.

THE PREMISE: Transfyr argues science is missing an observability layer. Lab work is ful l of tacit decisions\, failed attempts\, operator judgment\, noisy instrum ents and context that never reaches the written protocol\, and the company is building what it calls the world's largest multimodal dataset of scien tific execution for models to reason over. Fellows get to work with that d ata. RESEARCH AGENDA\, eight named directions: multimodal reasoning (align ing video\, audio\, protocol text\, instrument traces\, timestamps\, gaze and outcomes)\; conflicting evidence (uncertainty and calibration\, eviden ce attribution\, contradiction-aware reasoning)\; long-context scientific memory (long-horizon state tracking\, retrieval over process histories\, f ailure and deviation memory)\; real-world evaluations (benchmark design\, process-level metrics\, lab-grounded model assessment)\; tacit expertise ( expert-novice comparison\, skill representation\, human-in-the-loop feedba ck)\; physical-world AI (embodied data pipelines\, transfer across setting s\, policy and assistance evaluation)\; biosecurity and bio-risk observabi lity (synthesis-to-execution verification\, emergent capability tracking\, autonomous vulnerability detection)\; and scientific execution ontology ( wet-lab-grounded metadata design\, cross-domain causal attribution\, multi -scale variability mapping). WHAT FELLOWS DO: define a research question\, build prototypes\, analyse real multimodal scientific-execution data\, pr essure-test evaluation ideas\, and produce a publishable or demo-grade art ifact\, with direct mentorship from Transfyr's founders\, technical team a nd advisor network across AI\, biology\, robotics and scientific operation s. WHO CAN APPLY: current graduate students able to take leave (and to sel f-certify that they can commit full-time)\, recent PhDs and postdocs in ma chine learning\, computer science\, computational biology\, robotics\, hum an-computer interaction\, statistics or adjacent fields. Strong ML fundame ntals and evidence of research taste are the bar\; the call asks for comfo rt with ambiguity and curiosity about how science happens in physical envi ronments.

Normsy identifies toxic posts (typically content attacking or violating civic norms) and offers real users a set of AI-generated prosocial comments to choose from and post\; the open questi on is how to estimate the effect of those comments on content producers\, other commenters and bystanders who consume content without interacting me asurably. The current approach combines survey experiments (how active X u sers respond emotionally to threads with and without the intervention\, an d how it shifts agreement with and support for the original post) with pai d X API platform data (classifying comments before and after an interventi on\, plus coarse engagement metrics that cost money each time they are rec ollected). WHAT THEY WANT: a systematic way to leverage available platform data and maximise the utility of the survey experiments. Example proposal s include a strategy for measuring toxicity/prosociality and reach/visibil ity of a thread over time with a randomisation design generating a control group of threads\, or an approach to benchmarking the prosocial potential of AI-generated comments through an iterative arena with human judges or a theory-backed LLM validation approach with human validation. The brief i s explicit that methodological innovation\, causal identification\, scalab le measurement frameworks and novel observational approaches matter far mo re than proposing new intervention types\; proposals need not study Normsy exclusively but must explain how the evaluation design transfers to it. E thics and IRB considerations are central and Normsy will collaborate with selected researchers on ethics review and implementation planning. Researc hers retain publication independence and IP\; the partnership is expected to produce data for an academic paper.

THIS YEAR'S THEME\, The Word\, is squarely about large lan guage models. The framework moves from the word as creative principle acro ss traditions (the Judeo-Christian creating God\, the Quran as uncreated w ord\, the Sanskrit Om and the Vedas\, mantras that summon rather than desc ribe) to science relocating that intuition in the cell (Sagan's four-lette r alphabet of DNA as a material text\, Margulis countering that the langua ge of life is chemistry\, Witzany holding that all cell interactions are s ign-mediated)\, and then to LLMs\, which for the first time detach the wor d from the flesh and generate text through a probabilistic architecture tr ained on human language. The call asks what LLMs reveal about authorship\, originality and meaning when a system generates text that moves\, persuad es or deceives without experience or intention\, and whether we can still say the models operate exclusively on human experience once they ingest th eir own output. It explicitly wants work that blurs comprehension and simu lation\, authorship and recombination\, and it names antecedents worth kno wing before applying: Ramon Llull's Ars Magna\, Joan Brossa's Sextina cibe rnetica\, Oulipo constraint writing\, oracles and divination\, oral-formul aic transmission\, translation as probabilistic approximation\, exquisite corpses\, Burroughs's cut-ups\, automatic writing\, musical improvisation and scientific simulation. Les antipodes asks for engagement 'beyond the i nstrumental use of the tools' and away from utopian and dystopian framings . WHAT YOU GET: spacious\, luminous\, independent work spaces plus a share d terrace in the centre of the village\, spaces for meeting\, dialogue and public presentation\, introductions to local\, academic\, artistic and pr ofessional contacts on request\, and support organising any activities tha t arise. The residency ends with an informal presentation\, and results ma y feed into the publications or public programme of Les antipodes. IMPORTA NTLY\, this is not an acquisition prize and involves no transfer of rights : authorship and intellectual property stay with the creators\, and select ion implies no acquisition of the work. Credits on resulting work must ack nowledge Numeric 2026 and its collaborators. WHO CAN APPLY: open to everyo ne of legal age\, any discipline or origin\, individually or as a collecti ve\, with the stipend shared among collective members. Applications must b e in Catalan or English whatever the working language of the project\, sub mitted through the online form with an optional PDF of up to 5 pages and 1 0 MB. One application per person or collective. EVALUATION\, in order of w eight: singularity and innovation\; relevance to this year's LLM framework \; and interaction and transfer of value\, meaning relations with the soci al and geographical environment of Agullana and the Emporda and a plan for presenting the outcome in editorial\, on-site\, performative\, sound\, au diovisual or other form. The call may be declared void if no proposal reac hes the required level. PRACTICAL: residents must hold their own health co ver (EHIC for EU citizens\, or valid travel or health insurance for Spain otherwise) and are responsible for their own equipment.
